Financial News and Advice in Singapore

Horror-loving Singaporeans can reduce bill shock in 2016 with these promotions for Halloween Horror Nights.

We Singaporeans love scaring ourselves silly, but the real horror is in how easily leisure spending can stack up. With these credit card promotions, thrill-seekers can dampen the bill shock on one of our favourite Halloween events.

Now in its sixth incarnation, Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Singapore is back for another season of greasepaint, mysterious fabrics and non-stop screaming. The entire theme park will once again be transformed into a gritty fantasy land filled with milling horror buffs and professional actors trying their best to scare them silly.

This year, Halloween Horror Nights 6 will include five haunted houses and two scare zones, with the entire ghastly realm ruled over by head ghoul Lady Death. The annual event will be running on selected nights from 30 September to 31 October 2016, Fridays (7.30pm to 12.30am) and Saturdays (7.30pm to 1.30am) only.

Whether you’re a seasoned veteran returning to challenge the horror fest, or a curious newbie looking to survive your first Singaporean-style horror show, arming yourself with the right credit cards will make sure the shocks goes to your hearts, not your wallets.
